Debunk: No, GameStop WON'T sell the NGP for $1,000

Destructoid - GameStop has started to take preorders for the freshly revealed PSP successor, codenamed the Next Generation Portable. However, some people have gotten their panties in a bunch over the price estimate, which lists the console for a whopping $999.99.

I work at GameStop and when the 3DS was available for pre-order people were flipping their shit because it said the same thing. "Like OMGZFUOMGLMAODJS I'm not paying $1,000!!!" People are annoying. Now I get to hear it for this.

Did you not read the article? Or you just see the title and come leave a comment.

"GameStop tentatively prices all newly announced systems at $999.99. This was explained to me a while ago, when my preorder for the Nintendo 3DS carried that exact same price. This is just precautionary on the part of GameStop, to make sure the cost is covered. It's a huge estimate, but there's no room for undercharging with a price that steep."

A way for people to pre-order it so they are guaranteed a system. Obviously they are retarded if people still come in and drop hundreds on games and pre-orders.

Just to clarify people DO NOT have to put $999.99 down to pre-order the system. It is only $50. If they put a temporary price tag of lets say $249.99, and the system is set for $349.99 then GameStop is screwed. People will demand the $250 price. Which they rightfully should. So it is just a precautionary.

Don't get me wrong, I hate 90 percent of the practices that GameStop does. Like opening new games????? Our trade values????? I can't stand it. I'm no GameStop fanboy lol.
